Food Antifoaming Agents are synthetic compounds which are primarily added to food & beverage products to restrict the foam formation. Also, food antifoaming agents help in reducing the spoilage caused by micro-organisms, which increases the product shelf-life. They are used to preserve taste, flavor and other food qualities. Food antifoaming agents rupture the bubble formation on the surface and help in enhancing the industrial production.

Food Antifoaming Agents Market is increasing due to increased demand for food additives in the foods and beverages industry. Furthermore, increasing awareness regarding the use of defoamers in foods & beverage industry for various benefits such as inhibition of foam formation, preservation of olfactory properties, and increased process efficiency are likely to boost the growth of the global food antifoaming agents market.

Moreover, increasing demand for food antifoaming agents to overcome food spoilage is projected to drive the growth of the global food antifoaming agents market. The market players are responding to these new opportunities by expanding their product lines, which has boosted the share of the food antifoaming agents in the global market. However, stringent government guidelines on the use of antifoaming agents in food & beverage products are likely to hamper the market growth over the review period. The global food antifoaming agents market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period, 2017-2023.

The global food antifoaming agents market is segmented into Type and Application.

On the basis of the type, it is segmented into Silicone, Water, Oil-Based and others.
